The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Didn't you see the domw from the outside?

It most definitely looks nicer but it really couldn't be any worse than it was. Maybe my expectations were too high. The roof from the inside seems like a lot of work to have a small hole looking at the night sky.

On a good note, the horrible line ups and incompetent staff limited my in game beers to 2 from the usual too many. $10.50 for a "premium" 20 oz beer. No idea what that would have been, there was only Bud and Bud Lite. $8.50 for a 14oz Bud. Oh, and no lids.

Renovating BC Place was a waste of Money. We just put half a billion dollars of lipstick on a pig. The Lower bowl seats are too shallow, you still need binoculars to watch the game itself cause your miles from the action. The players look like minions on the field.

The Lions won again, tied for first place. I hate the fact that they are in first place because I am tired of Wally but damn they are in first place.

I admit, complaining about last night was better than being there thus my in game complaint. I could have stood in line again, but complaining was also better than that. I realize some people want to wear blinders, but it was over half a billion dollars to make the building prettier. Not pretty, just prettier. And now we are stuck with the place for another 20 years.

On a night when winning should have been the story, almost everyone I spoke to was astounded at just how bad it was in there. Want a beer? Miss a quarter.

Does anyone know why the screens facing the endzones are so much smaller than the sideline big screens? I hope there is a good reason rather than "we ran out of million dollar bills" reason.

To be fair I can understand your complaints about the service, the post game radio show was stacked with callers complaining abut the massive lines, the question I have is that the BC Lions fault? If i remember correctly the concessions were always run by BC Place Staff. and ultimately isn't that who is still responsible? I am surprised after years of experience running events there like the Olympics and other high profile events that they wouldnt be able to get it right the first time.
